The Badelaire is a slightly curved heavy broad-bladed sword derived from the Falchion used in 16th century Europe with S-shaped quillions. The pommel was usually very ornate in design. The quillons were curved. The quillon on the sharpened side of the sword was curved towards the pommel and the other one was curved towards the point of the blade. See also Falchion Cutlass.
